SANCHEZ TO BULLPEN?

Aaron Sanchez is still recovering from a blister issue on his right-hand, and while there’s no clear timeline for the starting pitcher, Gibbons suggested he could be used out of the bullpen upon his return.

The minor-league season is nearing its conclusion and if that’s not an option for Sanchez to pitch in rehab starts, then coming out of the Blue Jays bullpen might be the best way to ensure the 25-year-old concludes a rough 2017 campaign on a bright note.

“I do think it’s important that he finishes the season pitching, one way or another,” said Gibbons. “I think it would be good for his psyche heading into the off-season.”

Blister issues have forced Sanchez to the disabled list on four separate occasions this year, limiting him to just eight starts.
